Getting matched with a civil surgeon near Newtown Township

Form I-693 can only be completed by a doctor USCIS has specifically designated as a civil surgeon. A regular family doctor in Bucks County cannot sign this form unless they hold the USCIS designation — the Pennsylvania civil surgeon directory lists doctors who do.

Compare price and language

Around Newtown Township, expect a base exam fee of $200 to $500 before vaccines and labs. Many providers serving Bucks County speak Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Haitian Creole, so you can choose a doctor you can talk to comfortably. Because Newtown Township is a quiet community, many applicants book with a civil surgeon in nearby Morrisville or Buckingham Township.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

You can shorten the in-person visit by starting with a virtual pre-consult: your ID, vaccination records, and USCIS paperwork get checked online, and you arrive prepared.

Form I-693 questions Newtown Township applicants ask

You can start with a virtual pre-consult to prepare your documents and understand the process, but a designated civil surgeon must still examine you in person and physically sign Form I-693.
Only physicians holding the USCIS civil surgeon designation may complete Form I-693. A regular Bucks County family doctor, however good, cannot sign it without that designation.
USCIS generally treats a properly completed and sealed Form I-693 as valid for a set period from the date the designated civil surgeon signs it. Confirm current USCIS guidance for your specific filing.
Applicants generally take an IGRA blood test for tuberculosis. A positive result leads to follow-up, typically a chest X-ray, before the form can be completed.
You submit it yourself: include the unopened envelope with your USCIS filing, or bring it to your interview if instructed. The civil surgeon does not mail it for you.
Requirements vary by age under CDC-based rules; common ones include MMR, Tdap, and flu in season. Your civil surgeon reviews your records and identifies exactly what you still need.
